Colours - DONOVAN

Yellow is the colour
of my true love's hair

in the mornin'
when we rise,

in the mornin'
when we rise;

that's the time,
that's the time
I love the best.

Blue's the colour
of the sky-y-y

in the mornin'
when we rise,

in the mornin'
when we rise;

that's the time,
that's the time
I love the best.

Green's the colour
of the sparklin' corn

in the mornin'
when we rise,

in the mornin'
when we rise;

that's the time,
that's the time
I love the best.

Mellow is the feelin'
that I get

when I see her, mm, hm,
when I see her, uh-huh;

that's the time,
that's the time
I love the best.

Freedom is a word
I rarely use

without thinkin', mm, hm,
without thinkin', mm, hm,

of the time,
of the time
when I've been loved.
